Recently Gypsy has been urinating outside her litter box. I know her triggers - cardboard on the floor, a rumbled blanket in the corner, the plastic underside of a bath rug... and I avoid leaving those things around for her (my house is typically tidy but boy oh boy is it ever straight now!) A...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. Apologies to the mods in advance. My neighbor has a cat that is about eight months old. She adopted him from a shelter. He had started peeing inside her house and is now an outdoor only cat. She wants to get rid if it but she refuses to send...

Does anyone know of a good website to order food from? Gypsy is on a hypoallergenic diet and buying from the vet all the time is getting really expensive.

Gypsy is on a hypoallergenic diet (science diet d/d) and she also has feline herpes. The doctor put her on a Lysine (I think that's the correct spelling) gel but Gypsy won't eat it of her own free will. Short of shoving it down her throat.... The vet told me there is a powder form that I...

I had a feeling that putting the litterbox in the garage was a bad idea but I wasn't able to talk my husband out of it. Not long after, the cat was peeing on things in the garage. Today we found poo. I can't convince hubby to bring the litter box inside. He locks the cat in the garage when...

Hello TCSers! I'm making my way back to the site after being away for almost 2 years! After we had to put Ripley down I decided to take a break. With the new baby and being in Korea, we didn't want to have another cat until we got back to the States. Well - we're home! FINALLY!!! We're...

I just wanted to share some pictures of Bradley up to date. Newborn: 1 Month: 2 Month: 3 Month: Sad Face:

I haven't been on the site much but I wanted to ask for prayers for Ripley. He's no longer with us. To make a long story short: We had to put Ripley down. It hurts too much to get into details but let's just say that life is not fair and I don't like Korea's pet laws. The situation makes me...

I just wanted to come on the site quickly and say hello. I'm going to be more quiet than usual the next few days/weeks. On the 15th DH and I welcomed our son, Bradley Scott, into the world. He came in weighing at 8 lbs 13.1 oz and 20 inches! Real quickly, here is a summary of the events...

When he gets playful he chases after my feet and tried to tackel and bite me. Sure.. it sounds cute but when I have to pee for the umpteenth time at 2 am it is more of a hazard. And his nips HURT! I don't know if there is any way to break him of this. He still nips at my hand if I pet him...

Okay... I just got bedding in the mail and I checked the care label because I want to wash it before putting it in the crib. HAND WASH ONLY?????? You've got to be kidding me right????? For a crib... right... poop... spit up... and who knows what else a baby does... Any easy way to do...

Okay... being pregnant I have that strange hyper sense of smell anyway... The cat box REEKS!!! Our little home is really humid right now and it is making it all that much worse to me!!! I have air freshener and candles going... I have a window cracked and I've tried to try the place out a...

I'm going to guess this would be the right place to post, as I am trying to alter the cats behavior (yeah, easier said that done, right?) We finally have the crib set up and suddenly Ripley thinks this is his new bed. A few days went by and he didn't care... I was thrilled. Well... each time...

I had been debating changing Ripley's diet. He is on Iams Weight Control (from the shelter)... What other companies have a good weight control formula? I was hoping to take advantage of the petfooddirect discount. I was looking at Wellness.... I'm not sure if I should change the food or...

Hubby and I were pretty upset to find out that Ripley is a biter. We can just be petting him and he'll nip... we'll walk across the floor and he'll attack our feet and bite... We're worried about how to break this before the baby comes. I'd be really really upset if he ever bit the baby.....

All we have in the house is regular bleach... We just got some used baby clothes and I wanted to wash them and some say non chlorine bleach... (the close are so cute and I don't want to ruin them)... What is this??? I feel so silly for asking!!!

We might have decided on a name... though were still tossing a few around. I just might have to call a vote on the site to have people help me out. But for now we'll call him Ripley. Just look at this belly!! And the bed no longer belongs to DH and I.... The big guy isn't thrilled...

Well... since for some reason my other post didn't get posted (Guess I hit preview and didn't submit) I'll have to retype my adventure and story again!!! Oh the way home from the ultrasound, DH and I decided to check out the strays at the local shelter. The lady working there was really sweet...

Sometimes it really is the most simple things that can make you happy. I just took a nice shower and used some coconut shampoo. I feel like I smell really good now... What simple things make you all smile?

I ran a search and I didn't see a thread like this started yet. I've noticed that there are a few members currently expecting. I thought it would be nice to have a place to talk about concerns, events, cravings and other issues where other expecting members could respond and the 'seasoned'...
